Shops at corner of Wheelwright Lane and Parkgate Road, Holbrooks, Coventry
We are looking towards Coventry; beyond Parkgate Road, Wheelwright Lane becomes Holbrook Lane. It is a wet and blowy Friday morning in May. The Alena Mini Market, with its European Union flag, is one of the many 'European food' stores in Coventry, and over the door it says 'Welcome' in English, Polish ('Witamy') and Romanian ('Bine ati venit'). Beyond it, the mobile phone shop is shuttered, but the Imperiun Pharmacy is open, as is SKG Store Parkgate beyond the junction. But the shop unit on the far corner is empty, as the Coventry Building Society branch has closed.

Wheelwright Lane and Holbrook Lane, Coventry
Looking south from the crossroads of Wheelwright Lane, Hen Lane, and Roland Avenue towards Holbrook Lane. To the left after the bus stop can be seen the Lyric Discount Centre (formerly a cinema and bingo hall), and the Kia car dealership, occupying the site since 2016. On the right the corner building of the Coventry Building Society can be seen as it curves around into Parkgate Road. The road surface of Holbrook Lane (from the middle distance onward) has been resurfaced and repainted this past week.

Polish Holbrooks: Mniam Mniam & Malinka
Looking towards the top of Holbrook Lane, leaving Coventry; beyond the traffic lights it becomes Wheelwright Lane. The small restaurant Mniam Mniam (Yum Yum) offers traditional Polish dishes. Beyond it is the Malinka Polish delicatessen, with its grey-above-red frontage, and in between, a beautician's parlour.
